Grand Central Market
317 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90013, USA
Century-old food hall with dozens of vendor stalls under restored Beaux-Arts arches.
This guide to Grand Central Market in Los Angeles traces it back to 1917, when a funicular called Angels Flight dropped Bunker Hill's wealthy shoppers at the door of a new hundred-twenty-stall food hall. It follows the market through the 1960s, when the city demolished Bunker Hill's mansions and its customers vanished almost overnight, shrinking it to barely fifty-two stalls patched with cheap tile by 1968. Listen for how a Wonder Market once served oysters, pastries and imported spices to Victorian-mansion crowds arriving straight off the funicular.
